运移汉祚终难复，志决身歼军务劳。

世界的进步，部分依赖于那些未被历史记载的行为；你我如今的处境还不至于太糟，有一半要归功于那些默默无闻、忠诚生活，并长眠于无人祭扫的坟墓中的人们。

The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. ― George Eliot, Middlemarch

T.S.艾略特

我一直觉得奇怪……我们钦佩的那些品质，如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情，在我们的体系中往往是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质，如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自负和自私，却是成功的特质。虽然人们钦佩前者的品质，但他们却喜欢后者的产物。

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

人品也好，却做这样的事，一定是疯了。他们吃到了苦果，在某种程度上，这是对事物过度依赖的结果。

模形式的算术是数论更深层次对称性的反映。

The arithmetic of modular forms is a reflection of the deeper symmetries of number theory.

已经走到尽头的东西，重生也不过是再一次的消亡。就像所有的开始，其实都只是一个写好了的结局。
